Something is happening at inXile Entertainment. Within the space of a month, the studio has quietly lost both Colin McComb and Gavin Jurgens-Fyhrie, the two principal writers on Torment: Tides of Numenera. Both announced their departures on Twitter:

This is weird because Gavin was supposed to be lead writer for Wasteland 3, and both he and Colin featured prominently in the game's Fig pitch video. Of the three developers "recruited" by Brian Fargo in that video, George Ziets is now the last man standing, with inXile mainstay Nathan Long and recently hired ironic cannibal Cassandra Khaw presumably replacing Gavin and Colin in their roles as writers. Gavin has since announced that he's moving to Ireland to join Swen Vincke's growing Larian empire. Where Colin will go after this is still unknown.
